Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians joined SiriusXM NFL Radio Tuesday to discuss a few hot topics surrounding his team. Among them: The possibility of benching former Pro-Bowl quarterback Carson Palmer, owner of a disappointing 69.5 passer rating through seven weeks.

“Carson is our guy,” Arians said. “He continues to get better in a lot of ways, studies the game as hard as he can.”

“Larry probably played that game at 80 percent,” Arians said, referring to Arizona’s Week 7 game against Seattle. “He continues to try to gut it out and play, and you know, this rest has really helped him.”
